I. A Better And Healthier Diet Equals Less Mental Health Problems Such As Depression - Joachim Bartoll

1. Humans are obligate hyper carnivores and should consume animal-based food, as raw as possible. Any edibles from the plant kingdom are not chemically compatible with human physiology and will require conversion, a process that causes stress and toxic compounds.

2. For every bit of non-animal food added to one's diet, it worsens both nutritionally and in increased toxicity. Processed foods, in particular, will cause even more damage than other plant edibles.

3. The Mediterranean diet, while still considered "extremely bad and useless" by the author, is acknowledged to be moderately better than Western diets. This is because it incorporates a moderate amount of unprocessed animal-based foods like fish, eggs, poultry, cheese, yogurt, butter, and some red meat, providing essential nutrients not found in plants, and keeps the consumption of highly toxic processed foods low.

4. The primary causes of depression and other mental health issues are nutrition deficiencies and toxicity. Therefore, a diet low in nutritious animal-based foods and high in plant-based and processed food is logically linked to an increase in depression and other "diseases".

5. Animal-derived omega-3 fatty acids are essential for cellular health and functioning, especially in the brain. However, cholesterol and saturated fats are considered even more important for mental and overall health, as they are utilized for repair, healing, and hormone production.

6. The perceived benefit of fruit intake on depression symptoms is attributed to an effect by association, not direct causation. This is explained by the idea that fruits are primarily sugars, some inorganic minerals, useless vitamins requiring toxic conversion, and harmful defense chemicals (antioxidants).

7. If individuals are encouraged to consume more fruits, they tend to reduce their intake of even worse and more toxic plant-based processed foods. This leads to a lower overall toxic load than before, resulting in a small reduction in symptoms.

8. Most mental health issues, unless stemming from severe mental trauma, are attributed to poor diet lacking nutrition and high in toxins, which the author states is very easy to remedy. A gradual transition to a ketogenic diet, and then to an animal-based diet, is suggested to heal the body, potentially resolving problems completely within months or years depending on accumulated damage and duration of mistreatment.

II. An Analysis and Comparison of the Socialist and Zionist Ideological Calamities. - Jorge Besada

1. Many of the world's most harmful agents are often "not evil men but high-minded idealists," and the foundations of totalitarian barbarism have been laid by "honourable and well-meaning scholars". The greatest crimes in modern history have been committed by governments that received "enthusiastic support of millions of people who were guided by moral impulses".

2. Socialism is characterized as a flawed ideology that led to tyrannical states like the Soviet Union and Maoist China, and Zionism is presented as a similar but "far deadlier" ideology with more complex flaws. These complexities are said to fool "many of our brightest minds" and continue to increase their "calamitous effects".

3. The emergence of modern capitalism, with its socioeconomic institutions like private property, money, and economic competition, is described as "the unintended product of historical development". These systems are seen as "the unintended result of individual human efforts (pursuing individual interests) without a common will directed toward their establishment".

4. The author asserts that "private property" and its associated freedom and "competition of ideas" are what enable the discovery and spread of superior information, civilize individuals, protect from coercion, and are vital for discovering truth. Freedom is emphatically called "the ultimate algorithm".

5. Socialism is portrayed as an "erroneous ideology-mythology" that spread due to a misunderstanding of the rapidly growing complexity of the socioeconomic order, with misguided ideologues believing entrepreneurs "exploited" workers and that a "coercive-competition-immune-monopolistic bureaucracy of 'experts'" would be a better way to manage society. The core tenet of Communism is summed up as "Abolition of private property".

6. The attempted implementation of a Socialist state, the Soviet Union, led to "expert-led 'central plans'" that required coercion through a "massive police state" to criminalize dissent and propagandize its myths. Without privately owned and competing companies, these bureaucracies would "consume more than produce leading to eventual famines and chaos".

7. Socialist movements "inadvertently" had massive Jewish overrepresentation, with key ideologues like Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky being Jewish. Jewish intelligentsia members were deemed "of great importance to the revolution" in Russian cities, rising to prominence due to being "better educated".

8. The Soviet secret police (Cheka-OGPU), with a significant over-representation of ethnic Jews in leading positions, destroyed thousands of Christian Orthodox Churches and killed many priests from 1927-1940. This led some to "erroneously" believe in a malicious Jewish conspiracy to destroy Christianity, rather than recognizing "complex historical-cultural-environmental factors".

9. The author argues that religious people viewed Socialists as "evil" or "Satanic" due to persecution, while atheistic Socialists found this absurd, making it easier for them to "ridicule and persecute with immense negligence and cruelty". This clash highlights the need to focus on "purely intellectual" problems and avoid shifting them to the "moral sphere" by labeling opponents as "villains".

10. Similar to Socialism, Zionism is presented as a "flawed ideology" that led to "polarizing effects". Theodor Herzl observed that Jews, excelling in finance due to historical conditions, were becoming socialists due to lack of other outlets, positioning them precariously between socialists and capitalists.

11. Instead of using "reason, logic, and education" to overcome anti-Jewish fallacies, Zionism evolved into an "identity-ideology" that "amplif[ied]" these fallacies through "increased vilification, separation and violence". This process, according to the author, could "only increase anti-Jewish fallacies, polarizations and wars".

12. Vladimir Jabotinsky, a significant Zionist ideologue, wrote in 1923 that "there can be no voluntary agreement between ourselves and the Palestine Arabs," as it was "utterly impossible to obtain the voluntary consent" to convert Palestine into a Jewish majority country. He considered Zionism "moral and just" and believed justice "must be done, no matter whether Joseph or Simon or Ivan or Achmet agree with it or not".

13. The "Zonification" of Judaism, spearheaded by atheists like Herzl and ben Gurion, replaced organically grown Judaisms that were overwhelmingly opposed to Zionism. These traditional Jewish communities saw themselves as part of their respective nations with regard to nationality, identifying solely by religion.

14. The author suggests that "Zionized" Jews and their supporters "did nothing to understand-overcome anti-Jewish fallacies," misrepresented Hitler, and contributed to an "unnecessary massive world war". They allegedly saw Hitler as a greater menace than Stalin, despite the author's claim that the average Jew was better off in pre-war Hitler's Germany than an average Russian in Stalin's Soviet Union.

15. Reports from 1938 and 1942 are cited, claiming that "international Jewry exploits every means of propaganda to oppose any tendency towards any kind of consolidation and understanding between nations" and that "this war is our war" for the "liberation of Jewry". This is presented as evidence that "Germany and Hitler were not uniquely guilty of launching World War II".

16. The author contends that the same ideological patterns recur, with critics of Zionism being labeled "irrational terrorists" and "antisemites". This "simplistic-tribalistic 'good vs. evil'" ideology, dominated by the "Zionized" West, is exemplified by figures like George W. Bush and Ukrainian leader Zelensky, who align supporting freedom with supporting Israel.

III. And so It Begins: Leftist Monkey Wrenching Is Leading to Civil War - Brandon Smith

1. A significant portion of the US population, estimated at "around 25% to 30%," is deeply rooted in the ideologies of Marxism and multiculturalism. These progressives, unaccustomed to opposition, tend to "lash out" when their agenda is met with resistance.

2. The progressive agenda is described as straightforward: "Open borders, third world replacement of the native population, a complete overhaul of our culture’s fundamental principles". This includes ultimately using "the foreign populace and leftist activists as a weapon to eliminate any resistance".

3. Political interference is met with "mob violence, looting, rioting and eventually terrorist actions and assassinations," which is characterized as "the classic model of leftist revolutions throughout modern history". These movements, while seemingly disjointed, are portrayed as "highly coordinated and conveniently timed" and not "grassroots".

4. The upcoming "No Kings" protests are presented as a national push to spread the Los Angeles riots, coinciding with the US Army's 250th anniversary and Donald Trump's birthday. The author asserts that the "usual suspects," including NGOs, Democrat politicians, and corporate media, are promoting these riots.

5. The author claims that the majority of Americans "VOTED FOR THIS" and "want mass deportations," viewing "All illegal migrants are criminals by definition". He states that "Native born Americans want their country back and they certainly aren’t going to allow Democrats to flood the population with migrants so they can manipulate future elections".

6. The "engineered migrant invasion" is theorized as a deliberate tactic to create a voting majority or a tool for cultural replacement, but also as a "mercenary army" of "entitled mob[s] purchased with welfare subsidies" that will "turn to violence". Progressive leaders are seen as having "deliberately positioned these migrant populations to be used as foot soldiers in an eventual soft coup".

7. Leftists are accused of habitually engaging in "destabilization efforts when they don’t get what they want," viewing their motivations as "sacrosanct and beyond criticism". This involves "directed exponential disruption and violence from riots to assassination" when the majority goes against the leftist narrative.

8. The author predicted the exploitation of civil unrest to disrupt deportations, anticipating that "when the weather warms up these goblins will come out in droves". He states that the death of George Floyd was "co-opted" to instigate BLM riots, and the Gaza war was used to agitate for university riots, with the migrant issue as the next "excuse for national violence".

9. The author predicts a severe "defeat on a level you can’t yet fathom" for leftists, describing it as "not going to be fair, it’s going to be ugly". He states that this "smackdown" will come from "regular American conservatives" who are "fed up with the constant sabotage and cry-bullying of the political left" and are "anxious to step in".

10. The author warns leftists that if they continue with "national riots and infrastructure disruption," conservatives "are going to end you". He describes a scenario where conservative men will "show up in droves at the nearest leftist riots" with "combat gear" and "put those people down flat".

IV. Fathers and Sons - Edward Curtin

1. The author describes his adult son's physically demanding run up and over mountain peaks as a quest to "find the rhythm of life’s essence and the peace that passes all understanding," and to "overcome himself". This is paralleled with Emerson and Thoreau's idea of finding God outside traditional religious buildings and Nietzsche's belief that "Sitting still is the real sin against the Holy Ghost".

2. The author reflects on his father's daring actions from his youth, such as confronting a drunk off-duty cop and intimidating punks on a subway. He observes that while advice can be crippling, one's inherent nature, or "God’s seal on one’s soul," often dictates actions.

3. Despite generational differences in religious and political views—with the author being a "dissident Catholic and a political radical" and his son taking "a step further away from religion"—a "deep love" fundamentally abides between them. They share a "deep thinker" quality that leads to the contemplation of the mysterious and a marveling at miraculous nature, akin to C.S. Lewis's concept of the "Tao".

4. The essay emphasizes the importance of beauty and risk, drawing on Albert Camus's assertion that "beauty never enslaved anyone," but instead prevents perishing. Camus's view that "danger makes men classical, and all greatness, after all, is rooted in risk" is highlighted as the essence of the "free artist" who moves forward on a "ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk".

V. Game On - James Howard Kunstler

1. A central theme in current global events is "No submission" to perceived willful evil, leading to "great quarrels" over who constitutes this evil. This refusal to submit is observed both in the Middle East and within the USA, and ultimately across "Western Civ".

2. Israel's actions against Iran are framed as a direct response to Iran's stated resolve to "wipe Israel off the map," demonstrating Israel's unwillingness to "submit to that outcome". The conflict is characterized as a "jihad".

3. In the United States, the Democratic Party is accused of waging a "jihad against order, liberty, truth, and decency" by promoting "irrational, frankly, insane" propositions that demand submission from Americans. These unacceptable propositions include uncontrolled illegal immigration, government replacing the family, gender fluidity, historical erasure, censorship, and the idea that "the punishment against citizens will continue until morale improves".

4. The Democratic Party, having allegedly "captured many institutions crucial to our national life," represents a "dwindling cohort of the populace" and is desperately seeking to "induce as much chaos across the land as they can possibly generate" as they lose ground. This chaos involves using "illegal immigrants as one set of shock troops and mentally-ill youth as another phalanx".

5. The objective of this induced chaos is to provoke the "Populist opposition" into exerting its authority to control the disorder, thereby allowing leftists to label authority itself as "intolerable wickedness" and "fascists". However, the author argues that Populists must demonstrate that "authority is not innately wicked" and that "Order is not necessarily tyranny".

6. Other Western nations, specifically Britain, Germany, and France, are depicted as "slump[ing] towards collapse" due to their submission to the EU and "newly-arrived hordes of Islamic immigrants". The author suggests that an "inflection point draws near," and the "latent ferocity of the indigenous population has yet to express itself," potentially leading to "violent civil conflict across the continent".

7. The upcoming "No Kings" actions, planned for hundreds of cities and towns, are described as "meticulously organized by a host of NGOs," some allegedly "funded by grifts run through government itself". The goal is to "flood-the-zone with so many demonstrations" that some turn violent, tempting "populist authority to assert itself" so that leftists can label them "fascists," though the author believes this label "has probably lost its mojo".

VI. Neuroscientists named on patent for early Chinese covid vaccine raises questions about known neurological effects of SARS-CoV-2 - Rhoda Wilson

1. Chinese neuroscientists, including two from the Institute of Military Cognition and Brain Sciences, were involved in China's first covid vaccine patent, filed on February 24, 2020. This raised questions for US federal investigators, as SARS-CoV-2's neurological symptoms were not widely known in the West at that time.

2. The author asserts that official sources and the "pandemic-vaccine industry" avoid publicly acknowledging the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein as "the pathological agent or bioweapon". This is because admitting the spike protein causes harm would necessitate admitting that "the spike protein, the bioweapon, which is in all covid injections... is causing the harm that they claim is caused by a covid infection".

3. The author suggests that if SARS-CoV-2 was released in late 2019 or early 2020, it "was unsuccessful because it did not cause a pandemic". Instead, the "real pandemic of a variety of diseases and conditions began with the rollout of the so-called covid 'vaccines'".

4. Moderna and the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) sent mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidates to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on December 12, 2019, despite "no threat posed, real, perceived or manufactured, by a coronavirus at the time". Dr. David Martin is cited claiming that since 2002, coronaviruses have been "engineered pathogen[s]" developed as "bioweapons" by Ralph Baric and others at UNC Chapel Hill.

5. The involvement of neurology specialists in early vaccine studies implies an interest in the vaccine's protection against SARS-CoV-2 neurological effects, which were later linked to "long-term neurological symptoms in patients previously infected with covid-19" like neurocognitive deficits and sleep disturbances. Research indicated that "covid-19" could increase the risk of neurological symptoms, including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, cognition and memory disorders, and peripheral nervous system disorders.

6. The Institute of Military Cognition and Brain Sciences' pursuit of "mental/cognitive dominance" for future military conflicts leads some officials, like Rep. Darin LaHood, to suggest China's actions, including a covid cover-up, are part of a broader strategy to "replace the United States as a global power". Chinese military strategists are reportedly developing new methods in neurology for battlefield advantages, possibly linked to the covid-19 vaccine research.

7. The unusual circumstances of the world's first covid vaccine patent and suspected early knowledge of neurological systems "may provide further evidence to support the theory that the novel coronavirus was not of natural origin, but instead manufactured in a laboratory". A US Defense Intelligence Agency study reportedly concluded that SARS-CoV-2 was "likely genetically manufactured and escaped a Chinese lab," appearing as a "chimaera" from two viruses.

VII. Our Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Foreign Invasion - J.B. Shurk

1. The author claims that "whenever the powers that be don’t get the election results they want, they just foment revolution and work to overturn the will of the people". This is exemplified by accusations that Democrats and "Intelligence Community co-conspirators" orchestrated the "Russia collusion hoax," sabotaged the Trump administration, and subverted lawful orders.

2. Democrats are accused of using COVID to "nullify election security laws," inciting the 2020 summer riots, and installing "Dementia Joe Biden" in a "fraud-filled 2020 mail-in ballot dump". Across the West, the "Establishment" is said to wage war against national populations that reject ruling politicians, undermining "democracy" in the name of "democracy" and imprisoning objectors.

3. Democrats are allegedly preparing for a "2020 'summer of love' reunion tour" in 2025, aiming to turn the summer into a "bloody, fiery nightmare for law-abiding Americans". This "season’s production" is stated to celebrate "criminal illegal aliens’ war against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers".

4. The author claims that "Forty million foreign nationals will prove why they should be allowed to break America’s immigration laws and bilk America’s taxpayers by burning down American cities, attacking America’s law enforcement officers, and endangering American lives". California governor "Gruesome" Newsom is accused of "doing everything he can to help illegal aliens set his state on fire".

5. The CIA and FBI are portrayed as "ecstatic" about the "coming carnage," believing it will result in "raises, additional surveillance powers, and brand-new office space". Democrat politicians are depicted as cheering for rioters on CNN and MSNBC, equating "democracy" with "throwing bricks and Molotov cocktails at police officers, robbing civilians, and burning down small businesses".

VIII. RFK Jr. Appoints Robert Malone, Other Covid Shot Critics to Overhauled CDC Vaccine Panel - Robert Jones

1. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has dismissed all 17 previous members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and appointed eight new members. This action was taken "citing a need to rebuild public trust in the federal immunization process".

2. The newly reconstituted ACIP, scheduled to convene on June 25, is tasked with demanding "definitive safety and efficacy data" before issuing new vaccine recommendations. The committee will also "re-evaluate existing guidance".

3. Among the new appointees are several prominent physicians and scientists known for their critical stance on COVID-19-era public health policy and the COVID-19 shots. These include former Harvard epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff and mRNA researcher Robert Malone.

4. Martin Kulldorff was a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, which advocated for focused protection over mass lockdowns. He was also a vocal opponent of vaccine passports, mandates, and mask mandates, leading to his dismissal from Harvard in 2024 for refusing COVID-19 injections.

5. Robert Malone, who conducted early work on mRNA vaccine delivery systems, was previously banned from multiple platforms for posts deemed "misleading" during the COVID crisis. He was later reinstated on X following Elon Musk's revision of COVID-19 policies.

6. Other notable appointees include Retsef Levi, an MIT professor concerned about potential cardiovascular risks from COVID-19 mRNA shots, and Joseph Hibbeln, an NIH psychiatrist focused on immune and neurodevelopmental health. The panel also includes Cody Meissner (pediatric infectious disease expert), James Pagano (veteran emergency physician), Vicky Pebsworth (nurse-scientist), and Michael Ross (OB-GYN and clinical researcher).

7. Kennedy framed these appointments as part of a broader effort to "remove conflicts of interest and restore credibility to federal vaccine recommendations". He accused the previous ACIP panel of being "little more than a rubber stamp for any vaccine" and emphasized that new members would not have "direct ties with the vaccine industry," focusing instead on "gold-standard science" and "common sense".

IX. Sitting for long periods strains your heart; here’s what you can do - Rhoda Wilson

1. Sitting for more than 10.6 hours daily significantly increases the risk of heart failure by 45% and cardiovascular death by 62%. This heightened risk persists "even for those who regularly exercise," indicating that physical activity alone cannot fully offset the damage from prolonged sitting.

2. Breaking up sedentary time is crucial for heart health, with research showing that reallocating just 30 minutes of daily sitting to light or moderate activity can lower heart failure risk by 7%. This suggests that "short walks or standing breaks throughout your day has real, immediate health payoffs".

3. Prolonged sitting impairs blood circulation, particularly in the legs, which negatively affects endothelial function and leads to increased blood pressure and arterial stiffness over time. This sluggish blood flow also raises the risk of clot formation, inflammation, and inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues.

4. Physical inactivity resulting from extended sitting causes changes in metabolic hormones, reducing insulin sensitivity and promoting blood sugar instability and fat accumulation, potentially leading to metabolic syndrome. Additionally, mitochondrial activity in muscles slows down during sedentary periods, decreasing fat burning and oxygen use, which contributes to oxidative stress and chronic inflammation relevant to cardiovascular conditions.

5. To protect heart health, it is important to "avoid long periods of sitting," ideally limiting total sitting time to "three hours a day or less" for optimal health. Simple, consistent actions such as standing for 10 minutes every hour can activate muscles, restore circulation, and restart metabolism, interrupting the biological damage from long sedentary stretches.

6. Incorporating walking into daily routines is highly effective, with replacing 30 minutes of sitting with walking shown to cut heart failure risk by 7% even for those meeting exercise guidelines. The author advises building movement into daily life beyond structured workouts, for example, by turning meetings into walking meetings or taking the stairs.

X. The Battle of Nations - Gregory Hood

1. The author claims that despite outward declarations of individualism or artificial borders, "Nearly everyone is a blood-and-soil nationalist for people they like". For specific groups, identity, nationality, and racial solidarity suddenly become "real" and "inspiring".

2. The recent riots in Los Angeles, triggered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement enforcing the law, are presented as illustrative of this phenomenon. The "defining images of the protests are crowds carrying Mexican flags," which the author notes was "Republican Fodder" in the past but is still waved by protesters.

3. The author suggests that despite Proposition 187 being ruled unconstitutional, its passage (aided by foreign flags) transformed California politics and led to the state "becoming culturally Mexican" where immigration law is not enforced. The Mayor of Los Angeles is noted for blaming ICE raids for city problems, while the author recalls her past calls for censorship against white advocates.

4. Protesters are described as being "clear about their loyalties," believing that "southern California as Mexican" and that "federal authority or immigration laws should not apply there". The author commends their honesty for choosing to wave "their flags" (Mexican) rather than the American flag.

5. The author asserts that America will "be ruled by 'racists' and ethnic nationalists," with the only remaining question being "whether it will be ours or theirs". He argues that traditional measures of national power are less significant than the "racial consciousness of competing groups," and that groups "without a collective identity will be consumed by those who have one".

6. The attempt to enforce minimal civic nationalism by enforcing law in Los Angeles "accomplished little except to reveal the contempt millions of 'Americans' have for our country, its history, and its people". The author outlines three possibilities for America's future: saving American identity (based on white identity), white identity replacing American identity if it cannot be saved, or foreign nationalists ruling over its ruins if neither is salvageable.

XI. The Toothpaste isn’t Going Back in the Tube: Tradition and the War of Attrition - Kennedy Hall

1. The article highlights a growing divide within Catholicism, asserting that "Tradition is winning and will win, whereas the experiment of the conciliar era will lose and is losing". This is illustrated by the contrasting public reception of Bishop Michael Martin's actions, which angered traditional Catholics, and Bishop Athanasius Schneider's celebration of a Latin Mass, which was seen as "simply Catholic and holy".

2. The author notes that while the "conciliar zeitgeist" (referring to the post-Vatican II period) is "far from dead," an attachment to the Latin Mass was historically viewed as "a problem to be solved". This is evidenced by Pope John Paul II's 1984 "Indult" Mass, which traditionalists critically called the "Insult".

3. The "Indult" was intended to clarify that priests celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) did not question the legitimacy of the Roman Missal, but it "failed in its true intention". Despite being publicly associated with "disobedience, schism, and excommunication" following Archbishop Lefebvre's consecrations in 1988, Traditional communities continued to grow.

4. The author observes that priests in traditional communities, even those established by Rome to draw traditionalists, generally "don’t seem to be huge fans of the Novus Ordo or have glowingly positive things to say about Vatican II". The author, identifying as a "Lefebvre diehard," states that he frequently receives encouragement from various Catholics, including priests and even diocesan bishops, to "Keep up the good work, keep fighting".

XII. The whole planet is being kept hostage by a death cult - Pepe Escobar

1. The attack on Iran by the "psychopathological genocidal 'chosen' ethno-supremacist set up in Tel Aviv" is described as a de facto declaration of war, meticulously coordinated with US President Donald Trump. Trump's social media posts, including his gloating over dead "Iranian hardliners" and warnings of "next already planned attacks being even more brutal," are presented as evidence of this coordination.

2. The attacks on Iran are characterized as a "pre-emptive attack on the BRICS energy core," constituting "part and parcel of the imperial war against BRICS, especially Russia-China". This conflict is seen as a strategic move to deliver a "killer blow to increased Eurasia integration" and serve the "Empire’s designs".

3. The author suggests that the Iranian leadership was "induced into a false sense of security" by "indirect nuclear negotiations in Oman," leading them to fall into a trap and be caught "literally, in their sleep". This is attributed to their naivety in dealing with "serial killers [who] don’t do diplomacy".

4. Despite the overwhelming nature of the attacks, the author notes the relatively low reported number of Iranian missile launches (100-300) and questions the media's immediate knowledge of precise counts, suggesting it "sound[s] like restraint" and points to a "preplanned and well-coordinated" event. He speculates if this "restrained 'war'" could be a "classic Trumpian third way" to achieve peace without Iran losing face.

5. Iran's vast arsenal of ballistic missiles is described as stored in "deep, deep underground silos and tunnels, capable of withstanding massive air strikes and overloaded air defenses," yet the "genocidals are hitting ballistic missile storage systems at will". The elimination of key figures like Ali Shamkhani is seen as a "serious blow" and part of a "regime change" agenda, following previous mysterious deaths.

6. The author argues that Iran was naive in allowing the IAEA to visit strategic sites, as this likely facilitated espionage for Israeli strikes, a mistake North Korea "would have never fall into such a trap".

7. The remaining options for Iran are presented as either delivering a "devastating blow to the psycho genocidals," assembling a nuclear weapon swiftly, or facing "capitulation, emasculation, and regime change". The author concludes that "the whole planet is hostage to a lethal threat" from a "voracious, out of control death cult" that combines "messianic ethnic supremacism," extreme disregard for human life and international law, and "unlimited access to lethal firepower".

8. Commenters express intense anti-Jewish sentiments, advocating for the "ostracization, marginalization, and even contempt" of Jews worldwide due to their actions. They accuse Jews of being a "murder cult" obsessed with worldly possessions, ordained to "rule the world" and justified in destroying anyone who stands in their way.

9. A commenter asserts that Israel's hostility toward Iran is fundamentally driven by Iran's nationalization of "Rothschild-linked Royal Dutch Shell petroleum assets," rather than ideological or security concerns. This perspective posits that the conflict is about "power, control, and financial interests, particularly in the oil sector," with Iran's independent oil industry challenging Western financial elites and circumventing the petrodollar system.

XIII. What Just Happened in Iran - Tom Woods

1. The author highlights the uncertainty surrounding the recent Israeli strikes on Iran, noting that "Nobody can be exactly sure what’s going on here". This ambiguity is intensified by President Trump's recent public statement that military intervention would be "inappropriate" as they were "very close to a solution".

2. A conflicting interpretation suggests that the Israeli strikes were part of a "deception campaign" by President Trump against Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei. Mark Dubowitz of the "Foundation for the Defense of Democracies" is cited as calling this campaign "one of the most effective ever run by a political leader".

3. The article notes that Sean Davis of The Federalist represents a segment of the American right that has become "weary of the war propaganda and profiteering". This group questions the trustworthiness of the "American regime" at this point.

4. The author indicates his intention to gather "more information before writing anything further," but assures readers he will discuss the topic on an upcoming episode of "The Tom Woods Show".

XIV. Fake Attack on Tel Aviv - Miles Mathis

1. The author dismisses the story about the Jerusalem Coffee House being sued for antisemitism as "equally absurd and manufactured" and a "fake news" test of public gullibility. He claims the owners are Jewish, and the narrative is a "manufactured story" intended to "generate sympathy" and "mess with you".

2. The video purporting to show Iran and Houthi bombing Tel Aviv is declared "CGI" and a "fraud" by the author, detectable by its "taste" and glitches in the foreground building. He asserts that "Iran has no nuclear facilities and the Houthis aren’t capable of bombing a rural post office".

3. Further videos are analyzed, showing only "red dots in the sky" or "orange dots and some sirens and explosions" with camera cuts that prevent seeing damage, and hits that consistently land "along the same line in the distance in the dark". The author sarcastically questions if Iran was "targeting only golf courses in the dark suburbs of Tel Aviv".

4. The author suggests that the "manufactured and fake war in the Middle East" is a desperate attempt by the US to "get everyone's eyes off problems at home," specifically citing "the vaccine genocide and incipient revolution". This "vaudeville" is presented as a joint effort by Trump and the CIA, who are "old pals," to "manufacture civil war in the US to prevent a revolution" and redirect public anger away from themselves.

5. The "Phoenician Navy" (implying Jewish entities) is accused of "robbing you blind and gaslighting you 24/7 with outrageous lies and fakes".

XV. MISCALCULATIONS - Jeff Childers

1. The author notes the extreme difficulty in knowing the "real news" from the Middle East conflict, attributing this to a "dense fog," "off-the-charts propaganda," and the fact that Israel's government maintains "total control of war news". Despite official reports of only three Israeli deaths, "unofficial pictures of collapsed apartment buildings" make this low casualty count "difficult to comprehend".

2. The media's unquestioning report of Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei "signaling restraint" is suspected to be a "gift-wrapped 'disclosure'" planted to aid Iran's public relations and facilitate backchannel diplomacy. The author highlights the "low, precisely counted" numbers of Iranian missiles (100-300) as sounding like "restraint," questioning how such exact figures were known "right after the launches".

3. The muted global reaction, the Israeli operation's scale and precision, and Iran's "barely-there air defenses and muted retaliation" suggest "something deeper that might be at play," possibly "preplanned and well-coordinated". The author speculates if this "restrained 'war'" could be a "classic Trumpian third way" to achieve peace without Iran seeming to "give in" to pressure.

4. HHS Secretary Kennedy defended Dr. Robert Malone against corporate media attacks, specifically the New York Times, which Kennedy accused of being preoccupied with "pharma advertising money" rather than ethical investigation. Malone, an mRNA expert, reportedly experienced vaccine injury himself, leading to a shift in his views, and was subsequently offered a "consulting" role by pharma, which Kennedy saw as an attempt to "create a conflict of interest".

5. A USAID official and three corporate executives pleaded guilty to a "decade-long bribery scheme," involving over $550 million in USAID contracts steered to friends who provided bribes. This is presented as evidence of a "lawless culture of corruption" and "systemic vulnerability," rather than isolated bad actors, within federal contracting.

6. A Charlotte City Council member and her daughters were indicted on federal charges for using "fake companies during the pandemic to hoover up forgivable SBA disaster loans and fake 'paycheck protection' grants" totaling $125,000, including for a lavish birthday party. The councilwoman, with a prior felony fraud conviction, claimed her public retraction of re-election plans was merely a "test" to identify a leaker.

7. A South Korean lab is reported to have created a bird flu virus that is "100% Lethal In Mammals" through "gain-of-function" experiments, with the new variant preferring to attack "the brain" and causing neurological symptoms. This development is presented as "the news for which Big Pharma has been impatiently waiting, to accelerate the bird flu panic and unleash covid-level government largesse".

8. The "Weekend of Protest," including "No Kings" protests, is timed to coincide with the US Army's 250th birthday parade and President Trump's birthday. Democrats criticized the Army parade as a "waste of money," while the "No Kings" protests are suggested to be "astroturfed" and "well funded by progressive NGOs," possibly using "state and federal tax dollars".

XVI. PREMATURELY - Jeff Childers

1. The author highlights a "shocking Israeli military strike" that "wildly expanded the boundaries of what anybody thought was possible," reportedly erasing Iran's "entire military chain of command" and hitting over 100 targets across Iran without any Israeli jets being damaged. The only explanation offered is a "catastrophic security failure" where "someone inside Iran somehow pulled the plug on all the country’s air defenses right before the attack".

2. The scale of the Israeli operation suggests tacit approval from Jordan and Saudi Arabia, as Israeli jets "must have been aided by the Jordanians and allowed to use Saudi Arabian airspace" to reach Iran. Despite numerous warning signs and closed airspaces, many Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists were killed while "sleeping in their apartments," which the author views as "beyond reckless" and an inexplicable "negligence".

3. The Trump Administration confirmed awareness of the attacks but stated the U.S. did not participate, with President Trump urging Iranians to return to the negotiating table and warning of "next already planned attacks". These strikes are interpreted as a "preparatory phase of a much larger operation to permanently disable Iran’s nuclear capability," implying enormous pressure not to waste the opportunity.

4. The content production staff of the US government's official climate.gov website was fired, leading a former contractor to suspect the administration might "co-opt" the site to publish its "own anti-science content". The author ironically highlights the former director's possessive language about "our audience, our brand, our millions of people that we reach on social media every month".

5. HHS Secretary Kennedy announced new healthcare provisions in the "Big Beautiful Bill" (BBB), including a $75/month program with 24/7 concierge doctors and expanded Health Savings Accounts for health-related expenses like gym memberships. Kennedy described this as a way to "revolutionize healthcare" by incentivizing "pumping iron instead of pill popping," returning to "old-style healthcare".

6. A federal judge in San Francisco issued a temporary injunction ordering Israel not to attack anyone else, but this order was swiftly stayed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The author points out the judge's "bias" for unnecessarily sneering at President Trump's actions as "illegal" and unconstitutional, equating him to "King George".

7. The social media platform BlueSky, intended as a "safe haven for liberal users," experienced a "purity spiral" where discussions devolved into users calling those with even slight disagreements "nazi fascist". This dynamic caused users like Mark Cuban to leave, noting that BlueSky users had "grown ruder and more hateful" and were "forcing posts to X".

8. The author argues that old Twitter's liberal "free rein" was maintained through "thought policing" and "progressive Twitter mobs" that "policed the discourse themselves," leading to "high-profile firings that made many people afraid to cross them". This enforced groupthink "created the illusion that progressive ideas were more popular than they actually were," leading to BlueSky's current state of "ritualistic cannibalism" among leftists in the absence of conservatives to target.

Summary

The provided text, "Fake Attack on Tel Aviv" by Miles Mathis, argues that recent significant global events, including a purported attack on Tel Aviv, are fabricated narratives designed to mislead the public. The author first analyzes a story about an Oakland coffee shop, the "Jerusalem Coffee House," allegedly suing for antisemitism, claiming its name contradicts the accusation and that the Justice Department's involvement is unnecessary given existing laws, indicating it's a "manufactured story" to "generate sympathy" for Jewish people. Mathis then focuses on the alleged bombing of Tel Aviv by Iran and the Houthis, dismissing it as CGI and "fraud" due to visual glitches in released videos and the purported inability of the Houthis to carry out such an attack. The overarching purpose, according to the author, is that the "US desperately needs this manufactured and fake war in the Middle East to get everyone's eyes off problems at home," such as "vaccine genocide and incipient revolution," ultimately to prevent public unrest and divert attention from systemic issues.

Discuss Fake events.

According to the provided sources, "fake events" are discussed as manufactured or orchestrated occurrences, often characterized by deception, propaganda, and a hidden agenda1.... These events are portrayed as not being spontaneous or organic but rather carefully planned and executed by various actors to achieve specific political, economic, or social objectives5....

Key characteristics and examples of alleged fake events highlighted in the sources include:

•

Manufactured Geopolitical Conflicts:

◦

The June 2025 attack on Tel Aviv by Iran and the Houthis is described as a "Fake Attack on Tel Aviv" by one source, alleging it was a "fraud" involving CGI and fiction, designed to divert public attention from domestic issues like a "vaccine genocide" and an "incipient revolution" in the US1.... This attack is also presented as a "preplanned and well-coordinated" "public show of conflict" between Israel and Iran, possibly aimed at achieving a politically feasible peace or serving as a "preparatory phase of a much larger operation"1013. Despite reports of widespread property damage, the officially reported low casualty count is questioned14. The sources suggest that Iran's air defenses were suspiciously silent, implying an "inside" job or a "catastrophic security failure"15. It is also posited that the attack was coordinated between Israel and the US President, Donald Trump, as a "deception campaign" against Iran, and potentially a "pre-emptive attack on the BRICS energy core" linked to Rothschild oil interests and the goal of regime change in Iran16....

◦

The broader context of wars is attributed to "The Jews," who are accused of instigating conflicts like the Gulf War, wars in Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and Iran, and of using America's resources and influence to further their agenda24....

•

Orchestrated Domestic Unrest and Political Manipulation:

◦

The Los Angeles riots (June 2025) are characterized as "astroturfed" and "stirred up by professional political agitators," rather than grassroots movements9.... These riots are seen as part of an "agitation plot" and "organized strategy" by the political left and "globalists" to destabilize the US and provoke a civil war5.... Illegal immigrants and "mentally-ill youth" are depicted as "shock troops" or a "mercenary army" used to eliminate opposition6....

◦

The George Floyd death and subsequent Black Lives Matter riots (2020) are described as the death being "co-opted" to instigate the riots, which are called a "Democrat-sponsored theatrical production"3132.

◦

The "No Kings" protests are presented as meticulously organized by NGOs, potentially funded by taxpayer money, with the aim of instigating violence and then labeling the populist response as "fascist"711.

•

Fabricated Narratives in Other Spheres:

◦

The Jerusalem Coffee House lawsuit is cited as an "absurd and manufactured story" where Jewish owners allegedly "pretend[ed] to attack themselves for the millionth time to generate sympathy" and to "test" public gullibility1. The legal premise of the lawsuit is dismissed as illogical given existing anti-discrimination laws33.

◦

The COVID-19 pandemic is suggested to be a "manufactured" event, with claims that coronaviruses have been "engineered" since 2002 and that the "real pandemic" began with the rollout of "covid 'vaccines'," which introduced the "pathological" spike protein into people34.... The involvement of neuroscientists in an early Chinese COVID vaccine patent is raised as a question, suggesting foreknowledge of neurological effects and supporting a lab origin theory37....

◦

The shutdown of the Climate.gov website is framed as the Trump administration "flatten[ing]" a "climate change psyop" by firing its content staff41. The former director's concern about "anti-science content" replacing it is reinterpreted as a potential "best-case scenario"42.

The sources generally contend that a range of actors, including governments, intelligence agencies (e.g., CIA, MI6), political parties (e.g., Democrats), NGOs, and certain "elites" (e.g., Zionists, "The Jews," Big Pharma, Rothschild-linked financial networks), are involved in creating or exploiting these fake events1.... Their motivations are said to include manipulating public opinion, generating sympathy, acquiring power, overturning election results, distracting from domestic problems, and furthering geopolitical or financial interests1.... The media is often depicted as complicit in disseminating these narratives and controlling public perception3....

Discuss Government deception.

Government deception is a recurring theme across the provided sources, encompassing various aspects of public life, from international conflicts and domestic politics to public health and scientific information.

Deception in International Relations and War Several sources describe governments and associated entities engaging in deception to instigate or justify wars and geopolitical actions. One article suggests that the devastating attack on Iran by the "psycho-genocidal Zionist entity" was coordinated in detail with the U.S. President, Donald Trump, implying a pre-planned and deceptive maneuver12. Trump's public statements about seeking a "deal" with Iran were seen as a "deception campaign" or a "ploy" to disarm Iran and force capitulation, while covertly planning attacks3.... The Iranian leadership was allegedly "duped" by "indirect talks" that were a "facade" for planning acts of terrorism78. It is claimed that Iran's leadership was induced into a "false sense of security" through diplomacy, which was not genuine, and that intelligence was gathered from Iranian sites under false pretenses to facilitate Israeli strikes7....

The underlying motive for conflict with Iran is presented as being about financial and resource control rather than ideology or nuclear weapons, specifically Iran's nationalization of Rothschild-linked oil assets, suggesting that stated reasons are deceptive11.... The "good vs. evil" ideology propagated by "Zionized" elements in the West is identified as a form of manipulation leading to "war psychosis"1516. Historical events are also re-evaluated, with claims that "Zionized" groups "misrepresented Hitler" and "fooled themselves and the world into an unnecessary massive world war" through widespread propaganda15....

Deception in Domestic Politics and Social Control Governments and political actors are accused of using deception to manipulate domestic events and control populations. The Democratic Party is characterized as "waging jihad against order, liberty, truth, and decency," employing "hustles" and censorship to maintain control1920. Accusations include "spinning the narrative" to portray political opponents as dictators21, deliberately lying about public sentiment22, and using "deceitful statistics" to push for censorship against opposition voices23.

There are claims that "Leftists" and "Democrats" orchestrate civil unrest and "color revolutions" through NGOs, intelligence agencies, and even Chinese Communist Party support, using illegal immigrants as "shock troops" and "mercenary army"21.... These events are described as "theatrical productions" or "astroturfed" protests designed to destabilize the U.S. and provoke a response from conservatives, which can then be labeled as "fascist"25.... Past political events, such as the "Russia collusion hoax" and the 2020 election, are explicitly labeled as "orchestrated" fraud used to subvert lawful orders and install preferred candidates31. The "monkey wrenching" of America is seen as a strategic deception to trigger civil conflict and divert attention from other national issues25....

Deception in Public Health and Science The sources allege significant deception in public health matters, particularly concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccines. It is asserted that the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself was an "engineered pathogen" or "bioweapon" manufactured in a laboratory, and that its early emergence was subject to a "cover-up" by Chinese authorities as part of a strategic plan34.... Western governments and the "pandemic-vaccine industry" are accused of a cover-up regarding the pathogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, claiming that "covid injections" (vaccines) are causing the harm attributed to "covid infection"3940. This is presented as a deliberate "infection by injection" that resulted in a "pandemic of the vaccinated"40. The term "pandemic preparedness" is described as a deceptive phrase used by "lab-leaking lunatics" who "create the pandemic" to then "sell cures" and "cash checks"41.

Furthermore, it is argued that the government and "Big Tech" actively censor information that challenges official narratives to serve their own interests, with accusations that mainstream media publishes "lies and propaganda" on behalf of the government42.... The restructuring of the CDC's vaccine advisory panel by RFK Jr. is highlighted as an attempt to "rebuild public trust" after the previous panel was perceived as a "rubber stamp" for the vaccine industry, implying past deception or undue influence5253.

Systemic Corruption and Media Manipulation Government deception is also linked to broader systemic corruption. An example given is a USAID official pleading guilty to over a decade of bribery and fraud in steering federal contracts, a story allegedly "mysteriously missing from corporate media’s investigatory apparatus," implying media complicity in concealing government corruption54.... Similarly, a city council member was indicted for using "fake companies" to obtain "forgivable SBA disaster loans and fake 'paycheck protection' grants" during the pandemic5960. These instances are presented as evidence of a "lawless culture of corruption" and "systemic vulnerability" rather than isolated incidents5658.

The media's role in government deception is repeatedly emphasized, describing it as "propaganda machines"61. Examples include the manipulation of videos to make "fake" events appear real62..., the selective reporting or suppression of news to control public perception65, and the creation of "faux consensus" through "enforced groupthink" and "thought policing" on social media platforms5051. The press is accused of being "eager" to report "planted" stories to shape public relations and promote certain narratives6667.

Discuss Manufactured conflicts.

The sources discuss various conflicts that are portrayed as "manufactured," "fake," or "orchestrated" due to underlying political, economic, or ideological motives rather than organic causes. These claims span both international relations and domestic unrest1....

Middle East Conflicts (Iran/Israel)

•

Fabricated Attacks and Diversionary Tactics: The recent bombing of Tel Aviv by Iran and Houthis is labeled a "Fake Attack," a "fraud," and "CGI"1. It is suggested that this "manufactured and fake war in the Middle East" is a deliberate attempt to divert public attention from domestic problems in the United States, specifically a "vaccine genocide and incipient revolution," and widespread dissatisfaction with both political parties and institutions4.

•

Orchestrated Events: The reporting on Iranian missile strikes, including their precisely counted low numbers, is described as potentially planted media, and the entire conflict is questioned as a "preplanned and well-coordinated" event, possibly a "classic Trumpian third way" designed to achieve political peace through a public show of conflict5.... The lack of Iranian air defense response during the Israeli attacks, despite prior warnings, leads to speculation that "someone inside Iran somehow pulled the plug" on their defenses8.... This scenario implies a sophisticated, pre-arranged operation rather than a genuine military engagement10.

•

US Involvement and Deception: It is claimed that former President Trump was complicit in planning the Israeli attack on Iran to force Iran's disarmament, and that the US quietly supplied hundreds of Hellfire missiles to Israel before the attack1112. This is framed as a "MAFIA Style" deception12. The underlying motive for Israel's hostility towards Iran is presented not as ideological or related to nuclear weapons, but as a matter of financial and resource control, particularly Iran's nationalization of Rothschild-linked oil assets and its bypassing of the petrodollar system. Israel is portrayed as an "enforcer of Western financial and energy interests"13....

•

Historical Context of Conflict Fermentation: The founder of political Zionism, Theodor Herzl, is noted to have summarized a situation where Jews became prominent in finance due to medieval conditions, leading to renewed contempt and their overrepresentation in both Socialist and capitalist camps, exposing them to class struggle17. It is suggested that "Zionized" Jews and their supporters inadvertently contributed to conflicts, such as the fermentation of conflict with Hitler's anti-Jewish fallacies18. A Polish Ambassador's report from 1938 is cited, claiming that "international Jewry exploits every means of propaganda to oppose any tendency towards any kind of consolidation and understanding between nations" and was "leaders in creating a war psychosis which would plunge the entire world into war"19. Additionally, Chaim Weizmann, a leading Zionist figure, explicitly stated in 1942 that World War II was "our war" and "waged for the liberation of Jewry"20.

US Domestic Conflicts and Unrest

•

Orchestrated Civil Unrest: Leftist "monkey wrenching" and an "agitation plot" are described as leading to civil war, with migrant populations used as "foot soldiers" for a "soft coup"21.... A "clear organized strategy" is said to be in play to destabilize the US, exploiting limited unrest to create an "avalanche"24.

•

Exploitation of Events: The death of George Floyd was allegedly "co-opted" to instigate the Black Lives Matter riots, and the war in Gaza was used to agitate for riots at American universities24. The 2025 "murder spree" is characterized as an "NGO-financed, Intelligence Community–choreographed, Chinese Communist Party–supported, and Democrat party–organized “color revolution,” focused on a conflict between illegal aliens and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers3.

•

Political Motivation for Chaos: When "the powers that be don’t get the election results they want," they are accused of fomenting revolution to "overturn the will of the people," citing the 2014 Ukrainian coup d'état involving Victoria Nuland and the U.S. State Department as an example25. Democrats and "Intelligence Community co-conspirators" are alleged to have orchestrated the "Russia collusion hoax," sabotaged the Trump administration, and incited the 2020 summer riots by using COVID-19 to "nullify election security laws"26.

•

"No Kings" Protests: The "No Kings" protests are described as "astroturfed," "meticulously organized by a host of NGOs," and funded by taxpayers and a Walmart heiress2728. The goal of these protests is to "provoke the Populist opposition to exert its authority to control that chaos" so that the left can then label them "fascists"2729.

•

Manufacturing Civil War: Both Trump and the CIA are accused of attempting to "manufacture civil war in the US" to prevent a broader revolution, by redirecting public anger towards fellow citizens instead of challenging existing power structures2.

•

Symbolic "Manufactured" Disputes: The lawsuit against Jerusalem Coffee House for alleged antisemitism is called a "manufactured story" by Jewish individuals themselves, designed to "generate sympathy" and test public gullibility, implying a deliberate creation of conflict for strategic gain30.

Underlying Dynamics of Manufactured Conflicts

Drawing on F.A. Hayek, the sources suggest that the origins of harmful agents are often "high-minded idealists" and "honourable and well-meaning scholars" who, through flawed ideologies, lay the foundations for "totalitarian barbarism"31. This implies that disastrous outcomes can arise from misguided beliefs, not necessarily direct malice, leading intelligent people to "fool themselves into tyranny"32. It is argued that "ideologies cause people to have shared interests-incentives-fears-concerns-views which causes them to think and act alike giving the impression that they are in a ‘formal conspiracy’ when in reality no such thing has likely occurred"33. The importance of focusing on "ideas-fallacies" rather than vilifying individuals is emphasized for understanding how people are misled into "disastrous ideologies"3435. The legal concept of 'mens rea' (guilty mind) is introduced to question the degree of criminality when "harms are the result of the emergence of a complex and ultimately fallacious ideology-morality"36.

Discuss Media manipulation.

Media manipulation is presented in the sources as a pervasive and multifaceted issue, involving various actors and employing diverse techniques to control narratives, influence public opinion, and achieve specific political, ideological, or financial objectives1....

Mechanisms and Techniques of Media Manipulation:

•

Censorship and Narrative Control Governments and "Big Tech" are accused of actively censoring information to serve their own needs, with direct claims that they attempt to "silence & shut down" independent reporting45. In times of conflict, governments can exert "total control of war news" through military censorship, as alleged with Israeli media outlets needing to sign agreements with military censors67. This creates a situation where "there is no such thing as journalism," and the public is left to "decode battlefield theater"7.

•

Propaganda and Ideological Framing Sources describe the use of "propaganda machines" by various entities, including nations like Iran and Israel, where media can be "centralized" or maintain the "appearance of a free press" while still under "near-total narrative control"7. For instance, "mainstream media" is directly called a source of "lies and propaganda" funded by the government5. Political groups are accused of "spinning the narrative" to portray opponents negatively, such as calling Donald Trump a "dictator or 'king'"8. Propaganda is also seen in how events are co-opted or hijacked to instigate civil unrest9. Public relations images are carefully framed, as seen when "corporate media" "unquestioningly report" signals of "cautious restraint" from leaders, which aids their "domestic and foreign public relations image"10.

•

Deception and False Information There are accusations of "deception campaigns" orchestrated by political leaders11 and the propagation of "false flag terrorism" and "fake wars" as diversions12. News stories are claimed to be "manufactured" or "planted" with "eager media" acting "credulous"1314. Specific examples include:

◦

A coffee house allegedly sued for antisemitism being called an "absurd and manufactured story" and "fiction," orchestrated to "generate sympathy" and test public gullibility1315.

◦

Reports of missile strikes being labeled "fraud" and videos of attacks as "CGI" with "glitches" that are later "corrected" by cropping to hide the fakery16....

◦

Claims of "absurdities" and "reckless" behavior in military responses being attributed to psychological operations (psyops) designed to confuse leadership or pressure talks19.

•

Language and Mislabeling Language is highlighted as a tool of propaganda, where certain terms are used to conceal truth. For example, "official sources" might refer to "covid infection" instead of admitting the "SARS-CoV-2 spike protein" as the pathological agent, thus obscuring that "covid injections" are causing harm20. Resistance movements are mislabeled as "terrorists" to demonize them21.

•

Manipulation of Public Opinion and Consensus Media is used to "create the illusion that progressive ideas were more popular than they actually were" through "enforced groupthink" and "tighter moderation policies," resulting in "faux consensus"2223. This is achieved by suppressing dissenting views and creating echo chambers where only agreeable content receives "positive engagement"2425.

Perpetrators of Media Manipulation:

•

Governments and Political Actors The "Trump Administration" is implicated in using deception campaigns1112. The "Democratic Party" is accused of "spinning the narrative" and orchestrating events like protests with "NGOs" and "corporate media" to achieve political aims826. NOAA's "Climate.gov" website is labeled a "propaganda website" and a "climate change psyops" operation, suggesting government involvement in manipulating information27....

•

Specific Media Outlets and Platforms The New York Times, CNN, The Sacramento Bee, NPR, The Atlantic, and BlueSky are all mentioned in the context of pushing specific narratives, acting credulously to planted stories, or engaging in "character assassination"14.... Mainstream media, in general, is criticized for omitting "wildly popular" proposals34 and for being a "disgusting sewer" compared to independent outlets35.

•

Special Interest Groups The "pharmaceutical industry" is alleged to influence media through "pharma advertising money"36. "Zionized" interests, often equated with "Jews," are repeatedly accused of being "masters at propaganda and manipulation," controlling "textbooks, movies, TV, books, newspapers and magazines, and even in the Bible" to promote their narrative and instigate wars37....

•

"Big Tech" and Social Media Platforms "Big Tech" is explicitly accused of censorship45. Social media platforms like BlueSky are described as becoming "safe havens for liberal users" that devolve into "purity spirals" where users "call you a fascist" for minor disagreements, leading to "enforced groupthink" and a "toxic intellectual landfill"22....

Purposes and Effects of Media Manipulation:

•

Control of Information and Dissent The primary goal is to control the information landscape, making it difficult for the public to ascertain the "real news" and the "underlying truth"745. This includes suppressing inconvenient facts, criminalizing dissent, and making alternative views "harder to change"46.

•

Political and Ideological Control Media manipulation aims to promote specific ideologies, whether "Socialist mythology"4647 or "Zionist identity-ideology"48, and to maintain political power by "manipulating future elections" or preparing for "civil war"4950. It frames opponents in negative terms like "fascists" to discredit them26.

•

Instigation and Justification of Conflict A major theme is the use of media to "create a war psychosis" and justify military actions37.... This includes fabricating reasons for war, such as a "deception campaign" to pressure other nations11, and presenting conflicts as "necessary" even when they are allegedly "manufactured"12.

•

Diversion and Misdirection A significant purpose of "manufactured and fake war" is to "divert your eyes off problems at home," such as domestic political issues or alleged "vaccine genocide"12. This ensures that public attention is focused externally rather than on internal grievances against political establishments1250.

•

Financial and Corporate Interests Manipulation serves to protect financial interests, such as those of the "pandemic-vaccine industry"20 or "Rothschild-linked oil empire"52.... The "mainstream narrative" can obscure that conflicts are "about power, control, and financial interests" rather than "regional security"53.

Overall, the sources portray media manipulation as a deeply entrenched and often sinister aspect of modern society, used by powerful entities to shape perception, suppress truth, and drive agendas across geopolitical and domestic spheres4....

Discuss Societal control.

Societal control, as discussed in the provided sources, encompasses a wide range of deliberate strategies, actors, and mechanisms employed to influence, manage, and subjugate populations, narratives, economies, and political systems. It is often characterized by deception, the manipulation of information, and the orchestration of events to achieve specific agendas1....

Key Mechanisms and Strategies for Societal Control:

1.

Ideological and Narrative Control (Propaganda and Censorship):

◦

Propaganda: Sources describe "propaganda machines"4, "climate change psyops"5, and "Jewish/Holocaust propaganda" funded by taxpayers6. Propaganda is disseminated through various means, including media, cinema, press, and educational institutions67. It aims to create "faux consensus" and make certain ideas appear more popular than they are8.

◦

Censorship and Information Suppression: Governments and "Big Tech" are accused of actively censoring information to serve their own needs9.... Media outlets are said to operate under "near-total narrative control," especially during wartime, or to be complicit in planting misleading stories4.... Social media platforms are described as tools for enforcing groupthink and suppressing dissent through "tighter moderation policies" and "progressive Twitter mobs" that secure high-profile firings817. The ultimate goal of such control can be to obscure truth, divert attention from domestic problems, or manage public perception23.

◦

Deception and Gaslighting: Political leaders are accused of running "deception campaigns"18 and using "outrageous lies and fakes" to manipulate the public19. Events, including geopolitical conflicts, are alleged to be "manufactured" or "fake," utilizing CGI and scripted narratives to control public understanding2....

2.

Economic and Financial Control:

◦

Control over the financial system is presented as a primary means of global power. Iran's nationalization of Rothschild-linked oil assets is cited as the "real reason why Israel and its Western allies are obsessed with bringing down the Iranian government," suggesting a motive of financial and resource control over ideology or nuclear weapons23....

◦

The "western banking mafia" is depicted as funding global conflicts, implying that the financial system itself is a tool for controlling international relations and fostering chaos for profit26.

◦

Corruption and "graft" within government agencies, such as USAID, are presented as enabling hidden control through illicit financial gain, indicating a "lawless culture of corruption" that exposes "systemic vulnerability"2728.

3.

Political and Governmental Coercion:

◦

Tyrannical States: States like the Soviet Union and Maoist China are described as "tyrannical-chaotic" systems where "expert-led 'central plans'" coerce citizens through massive police states, criminalization of dissent, and propaganda29.

◦

Subversion of Democratic Processes: Accusations are made that "the powers that be" foment revolution and overturn the will of the people when election results are not favorable30. Examples include orchestrating "hoaxes," sabotaging administrations, subverting lawful orders, using events like COVID to nullify election laws, and installing preferred candidates through "fraud-filled ballot dump[s]"31.

◦

Regime Change: Systematic elimination of leadership is presented as a strategy to create conditions for "regime change," thereby asserting control over a foreign government32.

4.

Social Engineering and Manipulation of Groups:

◦

Identity Politics: It is argued that "organized Jewry" has worked to destroy "race/ethnic nationalism" for whites while promoting it for other groups, implying a deliberate effort to control societal demographics and identities33.

◦

Exploitation of Social Issues: Events like the death of George Floyd and the war in Gaza are accused of being "co-opted" or "hijacked" to instigate riots and national violence, suggesting that social movements can be manipulated for political objectives34.

◦

Engineered Migrant Invasions: The "engineered migrant invasion of the west" is claimed to be a deliberate tactic to create voting majorities, serve as a tool for "cultural replacement," and provide "mercenary army" or "foot soldiers" for a "soft coup"3536. This depicts a strategy of using population shifts for political and social control.

◦

Orchestrated Unrest: Protests and civil disorders are frequently described as "astroturfed," "meticulously organized" by NGOs, and funded to provoke a desired response from authorities, aiming to discredit them or achieve specific political aims37....

5.

Bioweapons and Health Control:

◦

Some sources claim that SARS-CoV-2 was a "bioweapon" engineered in a lab, and that the "real pandemic" of various diseases began with the rollout of "covid 'vaccines'"42.... This suggests a deliberate creation of a global health crisis as a means of control, leading to lockdowns and the sale of "cures"45.

◦

Research into "mental/cognitive dominance" and using neurology for battlefield advantage suggests a pursuit of control over human cognition4647.

◦

The creation of "100% lethal" bird flu strains through "gain-of-function" experiments is presented as a deliberate act for "pandemic preparedness," implying a cycle of creating threats to then impose control and profit from "cures"4548.

Actors Involved in Societal Control:

Various actors are identified as exercising or attempting to exercise societal control, often in a coordinated manner:

•

Governments and State Agencies: Including the US government, Chinese military, Western Intelligence agencies, and local political entities like governors and city councils5....

•

Political Parties and Ideological Groups: Such as the Democratic Party and "progressives," who are accused of waging "jihad against order, liberty, truth, and decency" to achieve power and submission38....

•

NGOs and Affiliated Organizations: Described as "meticulously organized" and funded to instigate protests and civil unrest37....

•

Media and Corporate Entities: Including the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, and unnamed "corporate media," accused of complicity in propaganda and narrative control4.... The "vaccine industry" and "pharma empire" are also named as controlling health narratives through financial influence5859.

•

Specific Groups and Individuals:

◦

"Marxist globalists"49.

◦

"The Jews," "organized Jewry," and "Zionists" are frequently accused of manipulating foreign policy, media, finance, and social structures for their interests or for "world domination"7....

◦

"Megalomanic" figures like Bill Gates and the Soros family are mentioned as exerting "occult influence" over European bureaucracies72.

◦

Political leaders like Donald Trump are portrayed as coordinating attacks and engaging in "deception campaigns"1873.

In summary, the sources present societal control as a pervasive and multifaceted phenomenon, often orchestrated by powerful groups and individuals, utilizing a combination of propaganda, censorship, economic leverage, political subversion, and engineered social unrest to maintain or expand their influence and achieve specific, often hidden, objectives.

Fake Attack on Tel Aviv

Before we get to it, we are going to briefly hit an equally absurd and manufactured (and related) story, that of the Jerusalem Coffee House in Oakland allegedly being sued by the Justice Department for antiSemitism, after an employee allegedly refused to serve a Jewish customer and chased him out while making racial slurs.

I hope you already see the problem. There are actually two problems there, but the first one is very obvious, isn't it? If you are violently antiSemitic, are you going to name your business the Jerusalem Coffee House? It is absurd. It would be like a coffee shop named the Bavarian Roasters bouncing all clients who looked German or a restaurant named the Parisian Bistro excluding all French customers. Obviously the owners are Jewish and this is yet another manufactured story. The Jews pretending to attack themselves for the millionth time to generate sympathy. And also to mess with you, as yet another test to see precisely how vaccine damaged you are. If you will buy the Jerusalem Coffee House excluding Jews you will buy anything.

This is proved again by the second problem: no one has to sue this business regardless, since there are already laws on the books against this, and many entities with the power to stop this without going to court, supposing it were real, which it isn't. Think of it this way: if the police catch you stealing a car, do they have to sue you to stop it? No, they just arrest you, right? The government generally doesn't have to go to court to stop illegal activity, since it has the power to stop it directly. Everyone used to know that. But in piles of fake news over the past decade, they are weaning you off that, by telling you that various government entities are suing eachother over something. It is to make you think something is happening when nothing is. Same thing here. The feds don't need to be involved at all, because there are local and State laws against discrimination, so the city of Oakland should be investigating this itself. Its investigators have the power to decide if it really happened without going to court, and if they determine it did happen, they have the authority to act. That authority is given them by State

legislatures or town councils. Yes, in some instances they then have to convict you in a court, as with stealing a car, but again that isn't considered a lawsuit. The city isn't suing you, they are convicting you. So just by the wording and the entities said to be involved, we know this is fiction.

OK, now for the main story here. Today the top headline was that Iran and the Houthis had bombed Tel Aviv, with Israel immediately responding by bombing (fake) Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran has no nuclear facilities and the Houthis aren't capable of bombing a rural post office. So I knew this was a fraud the moment I heard it, and quickly found proof here. That is the video they released all over the world, but you can tell it is CGI from the first seconds. It just has that taste. I can smell the computer juice dripping off it. If you don't believe me, just wait 23 seconds, and watch the building in the foreground, in the center. It glitches out, doesn't it? Why would that building jump like that?

An hour later: guess what, they corrected it. I have told you they are reading my papers as I write them, before I even publish them. They cropped the bottom of the video, so you can no longer see in the windows in those forward buildings. You can only see the top of those buildings now, so the glitches are less obvious, I guess. They are also calling it a live feed now, so nothing is going on. They want you dismissing the glitches as normal feed errors, but that isn't how they look. It looks like computer processing.

So let's see what else I can find. In this RT video from X, all we see is red dots in the sky, and some guy yelling. Nothing.

In this 14-second video again from X, we see some incoming orange dots and some sirens and explosions, but the camera cuts away before you can see any damage, so again lots of fakery. Curious that although the city is brightly lit up in the foreground, all the hits land along the same line in the distance in the dark, where you can't see what they are hitting. Was Iran targeting only golf courses in the dark suburbs of Tel Aviv? I looked at a dozen videos and they were either repeats of those or showed us nothing that looked even remotely real. But as Musk would say, the faker it looks, the realer it is, right?

Alex Jones is warning of false flag terrorism in the US being cooked up by the Neocons and CIA in response to this fake war, which is no doubt correct, but so far he is selling this attack in Tel Aviv as real. We will see where he goes with it. He has to know this is CGI and otherwise fiction, like the October 2023 kite attack by Hamas.

Of course Trump is selling it all as real, like his fake assassinations. He said he warned Iran this would happen, but they chose to ignore it. Right. So now we know what all that was about as well. It was act one of this three-act vaudeville, preparing the scenery. The US desperately needs this manufactured and fake war in the Middle East to get everyone's eyes off problems at home, the primary one being the vaccine genocide and incipient revolution. People are fed up with the lies and thievery of both parties and all institutions are crashing quickly. So they are trying to divert your eyes with these salacious videos and wild stories of foreign wars, just like in Orwell's book 1984.

I was also amused to see that Alex Jones is also now agreeing with me about Antifa being a CIA front. I have been telling you that since 2017. He is spinning it as CIA trying to keep Trump from saving America, but it is revelatory no matter what. The CIA isn't aligned against Trump, since they are old pals. Both are trying to manufacture civil war in the US to prevent a revolution. That is what the

current manufactured riots are about. They want us fighting one another instead of tossing them out on their asses. Don't fall for it. Your enemy isn't your fellow citizen, it is the Phoenician Navy robbing you blind and gaslighting you 24/7 with outrageous lies and fakes.

C&C News (June 13-14, 2025)

Date: June 14, 2025

Source: Excerpts from "☕️ MISCALCULATIONS ☙ Saturday, June 14, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠" and "☕️ PREMATURELY ☙ Friday, June 13, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠" by Jeff Childers, Coffee & Covid 2025.

Overview: These two C&C News briefings from June 13th and 14th, 2025, cover a range of current events, offering a critical and often skeptical perspective on mainstream media narratives. Key themes include the opacity and potential pre-planning of the Israel-Iran conflict, challenges to established power structures (pharmaceutical industry, government agencies, mainstream media), and the self-destructive tendencies of progressive ideologies.

Key Themes and Important Ideas/Facts:

1. The Enigmatic Israel-Iran Conflict: A "Battlefield Theater" or "Trumpian Third Way"?

• Initial Israeli "Decapitation Strike" (June 13): The June 13th briefing details a "shocking Israeli military strike that wildly expanded the boundaries of what anybody thought was possible." Israel allegedly "erased Iran’s entire military chain of command" and struck "military bases and nuclear sites all across Iran."

• Inexplicable Iranian Inaction: A key puzzling aspect is that "Iran’s air defenses stayed silent. Not a single Israeli fighter jet was damaged." Iran's only response was "around 100 drones," which were "all downed long before they neared Israel."

• External Complicity: For the Israeli operation to succeed, Jordan and Saudi Arabia "must have been aided by the Jordanians and allowed to use Saudi Arabian airspace," suggesting broader regional involvement.

• Lack of Preparedness: Despite "warning signs" and closed airspaces, "many of Iran’s generals and nuclear scientists were killed by targeted strikes while sleeping in their apartments." The author questions why Iran would "just stand down."

• Trump's Involvement/Warning: President Trump acknowledged the attacks, stating the U.S. "did not participate," but warned of "next already planned attacks," suggesting a larger, pre-planned operation.

• Iranian Retaliation and "Miscalculation" (June 14): The June 14th briefing reports Iran's "furiously trading missile strikes" in response to the Israeli attack.

• Conflicting Casualty Reports: Official Israeli reports claim "only three dead," but "unofficial pictures of collapsed apartment buildings across the small country make the low casualty count difficult to comprehend."

• Media Censorship and Propaganda: The author highlights the extensive control over war news in both Israel and Iran. "Israeli law allows the government total control of war news— every Israeli media outlet must sign an agreement with the military censor." Iran also "censors, less formally and more brutally." The author asserts that with two "veteran propaganda machines," there is "no such thing as journalism— we’re left to decode battlefield theater."

• Signaled Restraint vs. Weakness: The New York Times reported that Supreme Leader Khamenei "did not want to act hastily," a detail seen by the author as a "gift-wrapped ‘disclosure’... surely planted with eager media." This signals "restraint" from Iran, which "aids that country’s domestic and foreign public relations image."

• Low and Precisely Counted Missile Strikes: Iran's "only" 100 missiles in the first wave and 200 in the second (total 300) are noted as "low, precisely counted round numbers," suggesting deliberate restraint or limited capabilities, despite Iran being "almost certainly capable of much more than that."

• Muted Global Reaction: Unlike previous flare-ups, there were "sleepy crickets" regarding global calls for de-escalation, leading the author to speculate on a deeper, "preplanned and well-coordinated" situation.

• "Trumpian Third Way" Hypothesis: The author muses whether this "restrained ‘war’" could be "a classic Trumpian third way" – a public "show of conflict to make a lasting peace politically possible," satisfying both interventionist and non-interventionist factions of Trump's base. This implies a possible, though "crazy," coordinated effort between the involved parties.

2. Challenges to Established Authority and Corruption:

• RFK Jr. Defends Dr. Robert Malone: HHS Secretary Kennedy (RFK Jr.) defended Dr. Robert Malone, a controversial pick for the ACIP vaccine advisory board and a top mRNA expert. Malone is facing "full corporate media cancel culture treatment" from the New York Times and The Atlantic.

• Allegations of Pharma Influence: Kennedy suggests the NYT's "investigation" into Malone's "ethical conflicts" is hypocritical, as the Times has been "counting their pharma advertising money."

• Malone's Account of Injury and Pharma Offers: Malone himself claims his early vaccine advocacy changed after he "personally was injured by the jabs." He also reported receiving an "offer’ to ‘consult’ for pharma for $450 an hour" after his ACIP appointment, implying an attempt to "create a conflict of interest."

• USAID Corruption Scheme: A USAID contracting officer, Roderick Watson, pleaded guilty to "bribery after steering over $550 million in generous USAID contracts to friends who bought him stuff."

• Systemic Corruption: Watson received "approximately $1 million" in bribes over "twelve years," including cash, electronics, wedding gifts, mortgage payments, and jobs for relatives. The author calls this a "total lack of fear—no fear of getting caught, no fear of punishment. That’s not just a rogue bad actor. That’s an entire rogue culture."

• Political Implications: The author notes this story was "mysteriously missing from corporate media’s investigatory apparatus" and that prosecuting federal officials like Watson is "extremely rare." The revelation "wrecks the narrative" of "selfless technocrats" in "elite protected agencies like USAID" and "exposes systemic vulnerability, bordering on collapse of oversight."

• Trump Administration Response: The Trump administration is pushing to "rescind $9.4 billion in federal spending, including most USAID programs."

• SBA Fraud and Local Government Corruption: Charlotte City Council member Tiawana Brown was indicted on federal charges for using "fake companies during the pandemic to hoover up forgivable SBA disaster loans and fake “paycheck protection” grants," amounting to $125,000, including a $15,000 birthday party.

• Defiant Stance: Brown claims it's a "political witch hunt" and attempted to "test" her staff by drafting a re-election withdrawal press release, only to retract it.

• Prior Convictions: Brown has a history, "previously convicted on felony fraud charges back in 1994 and already served four years in federal prison."

3. "Gain-of-Function" Research and Pandemic Preparedness:

• Korean Lab Creates "100% Lethal" Bird Flu: A "peer-reviewed, government-funded, ethics board-approved study" by South Korea’s Konkuk University "evolved a more transmissible version [of bird flu] that caused 100% fatality in one group of mice— i.e. mammals, like humans."

• Gain-of-Function Concerns: The author explicitly identifies this as "gain-of-function experiments," expressing alarm and suggesting these researchers "will get us all killed sooner or later."

• "Pandemic Preparedness" Critique: The author cynically links this research to Big Pharma's desire to "accelerate the bird flu panic and unleash covid-level government largesse," stating, "First, create the pandemic. Then lock everyone down while you prepare for it. Sell cures. Cash checks. Repeat."

4. Political Maneuvering and Cultural Commentary:

• Climate.gov Shutdown and "Climate Psyops": The Trump Administration has "pulled the plug on federally funded climate propaganda machine" by firing the "entire content production staff" at NOAA’s Climate.gov website, described as "the largest team in the federal government dedicated to climate communication, education, and engagement."

• "Worst-Case Scenario" for Critics: A former director fears the administration will "provide its own content team, leveraging our audience, our brand, our millions of people that we reach on social media every month. That’s the worst-case scenario." The author counters, "Or it’s the best-case scenario, Rebecca."

• Kennedy's Healthcare Overhaul ("Big Beautiful Bill"): HHS Secretary Kennedy proposes a "revolutionize[d] healthcare" system including a "$75 per month healthcare program" with "24/7 concierge doctor" access (without insurance claims) and expanded Health Savings Accounts to cover "pro-health things like gym memberships with pre-tax dollars."

• Incentivizing Health: This aims to "incentivize pumping iron instead of pill popping."

• Corporate Media Silence: The author notes the "wildly popular" proposal is "mysteriously missing from corporate media’s investigatory apparatus."

• Trump's Control of California National Guard: California Governor Gavin Newsom "prematurely gush[ed] over short-lived judicial win" when a federal judge ordered Trump to return control of the California National Guard to the Governor.

• Ninth Circuit Stay: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals "had already stayed Judge Breyer’s order" before the day was out, upholding Trump's control for now.

• Legal Arguments: Trump's lawyers cited historical precedents where courts "did not interfere" with presidential deployments of the military, such as Eisenhower's desegregation efforts.

• BlueSky's "Purity Spiral" and Liberal Self-Cannibalism: BlueSky, a social media platform that "became somewhat of a safe haven for liberal users who wanted to drown out the noise of President Trump’s reelection," is now "imploding on cue."

• Mark Cuban's Disillusionment: Billionaire Mark Cuban, a prominent BlueSky user, described the platform's decline: "Engagement went from great convos on many topics, to agree with me or you are a nazi fascist." He observed users "grown ruder and more hateful," even "urging people who disagree with them to commit suicide."

• Lack of Opposition: A Washington Post editorial cited, "Without the leavening influence of their opponents, Bluesky discourse appears even more censorious and doctrinaire than what progressives were saying on old Twitter."

• "Faux Consensus" on Old Twitter: The author argues that "Progressive Twitter mobs also policed the discourse themselves, securing high-profile firings that made many people afraid to cross them," which "created the illusion that progressive ideas were more popular than they actually were."

• Consequences of "Purity Spiral": The author describes BlueSky as a "cage match of late-stage progressivism, where leftists commit ritualistic cannibalism, each round of revolutionary beheadings fueling the next, even bigger bloodletting."

• "Weekend of Protest" and Military Parade: A U.S. Army "non-protest parade" to celebrate its 250th birthday (coinciding with President Trump’s 79th birthday and Flag Day) is met with "No Kings" protests nationwide.

• Media Juxtaposition and Hypocrisy: Democrats called the parade "a costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade," while the author contrasts this with their acceptance of USAID's costs. Media coverage of a 1991 military parade is shown as "enthusiastically —even patriotically— covered."

• Astroturfed Protests: The "No Kings" protests are described as "less grassroots and more astroturfed... well funded by progressive NGOs, probably using our state and federal tax dollars."

Conclusion: The C&C News briefings paint a picture of a world in flux, characterized by geopolitical uncertainty, deep-seated corruption within government agencies, a critical view of mainstream media narratives, and internal ideological conflicts within progressive movements. The author frequently employs skepticism and cynicism, often using rhetorical questions and sardonic commentary to highlight perceived inconsistencies and challenge official accounts of events.

I. ☕️ MISCALCULATIONS ☙ Saturday, June 14, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠 by Jeff Childers

1. Date and Topics: The article is dated Saturday, June 14, 2025, and provides a Weekend Edition roundup. This includes hazey Middle East fog-of-war news, RFK defending Robert Malone, and a USAID official admitting to 12 years of graft.

2. Middle East War Uncertainty: It is not possible to know what the news is regarding the war due to its dense fog, off-the-charts propaganda, and real-time unfolding. The New York Times ran a series of breathless stories, one headlined, “A Miscalculation by Iran Led to Israeli Strikes’ Extensive Toll, Officials Say”.

3. Iran-Israel Missile Exchange: Beginning early yesterday, Iran and Israel began furiously trading missile strikes. This occurred after Iran’s Supreme Leader replaced his deceased ‘hardliner’ top military command.

4. Property Damage in Israel: For the first time in the author's adult life, pictures of widespread property damage began trickling out of Israel from social media. The unofficial pictures of collapsed apartment buildings across the small country make the low casualty count of only three dead difficult to comprehend.

5. Israeli Media Censorship: Israeli law allows the government total control of war news, requiring every Israeli media outlet to sign an agreement with the military censor as a condition of operating. This lack of transparency is described as a feature, not a bug.

6. Propaganda Machines at War: When two veteran propaganda machines like Israel’s and Iran’s are engaged in open warfare, there is no such thing as journalism. Israel’s media benefits from the appearance of a free press while still subject to near-total narrative control, especially during war.

7. Skeptical Reading of Reports: Readers are left to skeptically read between the lines of what has been said and, more importantly, has been unsaid. The author questions why multiple top Iranian officials would leak details from their secret war meetings, suggesting the Times’ gift-wrapped ‘disclosure’ was surely planted.

8. Iran's Signaled Restraint: Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei signaling restraint —instead of weakness— obviously aids that country’s domestic and foreign public relations image. The corporate media unquestioningly reporting cautious restraint suggests hope for backchannel diplomacy.

9. Questioning Missile Counts: The Times reported that Iran could only muster about 100 missiles in its first waves of attacks, and morning headlines reported Iran’s second salvo was only 200 missiles. The author questions who counted the missiles and how the media knew exactly how many there were right after the launches.

10. Symbolic Nature of Attacks: Sending 300 missiles was enough to make the top headlines and killed a few civilians, showing some fight. This might be enough to humor the hardliners in Iran’s domestic base, restrain its rivals, and let the regime claim it responded forcefully while still reserving any real punch.

11. Muted Global Reaction: Unlike previous flare-ups, there were no immediate global calls for “both sides” to de-escalate, nor did the UN wring its hands or European leaders rush to Twitter with “restraint” statements. The US also did not try to calm the waters as much this time, with "sleepy crickets" instead.

12. Preplanned Conflict Hypothesis: The widely reported scale of the secret Israeli operation, the transparency over the precision of its targeting, and the media’s restraint all point to something deeper that might be at play. This could be something perhaps preplanned and well-coordinated.

13. Trumpian Third Way Speculation: The author speculates if this could be a "classic Trumpian third way" to make a lasting peace politically possible. This would involve the three sides agreeing to put on a very public show of conflict.

14. Cost of Conflict: This restrained ‘war’ has been and will be expensive, but these surgical strikes, as awful as they are, could still be much less expensive than real war. Iranians might prefer a bellicose, fiery path to peace, without risking the collapse of their own regime for seeming to “give in” to pressure from the Great Satan.

15. Uncertainty of Situation: Despite volumes of so-called “war reporting,” the author states we don’t know and can’t know what is really going on. All we know for sure is that we know nothing for certain.

16. RFK Defends Robert Malone: HHS Secretary Kennedy posted a rare defense of Dr. Robert Malone, one of his picks for the newly reconstituted ACIP vaccine advisory board. Kennedy’s pushback started after learning the New York Times was “investigating” Malone for “ethical conflicts”.

17. Critique of Media's Ethics: Kennedy stated that the Times has been "in the back room, counting their pharma advertising money" for the last 20 years of ACIP ethical conflict. He asserted, "Nobody cares what the Times thinks. It needs to sit down and shut up".

18. Malone's Change in Stance: A dark thread in the conservative influencer community has been savaging Malone for his early vaccine advocacy. This stance immediately changed after he personally was injured by the jabs.

19. Pharma's Attempts to Create Conflict of Interest: After Malone’s appointment to ACIP, the first thing he got was an ‘offer’ to ‘consult’ for pharma for $450 an hour. When that didn’t work, it was time for “Plan B” to roll out the New York Times ‘investigators’.

20. Media's "Cancel Culture" Against Malone: It’s not just the Times; they’ve all "let slip the dogs of cancel culture war" against Malone. Malone reported The Atlantic is also writing a character assassination story about his misinformation superspreading ways.

21. USAID Bribery Scheme: The Dallas Express ran a story headlined, “USAID Official and Three Corporate Executives Plead Guilty to Decade-Long Bribery Scheme”. Roderick Watson, a USAID contracting officer, pleaded guilty to bribery after steering over $550 million in generous USAID contracts to friends.

22. Co-Conspirators and Beneficiaries: Three other co-conspirators—Walter Barnes, Darryl Britt, and Paul Young—along with their federally contracting companies, Apprio and Vistant, also pleaded guilty. For just one example, USAID employee Watson helped Walter Barnes get a $14 million Small Business Administration loan, from which Barnes immediately paid himself a $10 million ‘dividend’.

23. Nature of Bribes: Over twelve years, Watson received approximately $1 million in bribes, including cash, laptops, suites and tickets to NBA games, a country club wedding, and downpayments on two mortgages. The bribes were hidden in bank transfers falsely listing Watson on payrolls, using confusing arrays of shell companies and complicated stacks of fake invoices.

24. Culture of Corruption: This kind of waste, fraud, and abuse only arises within a lawless culture of corruption. When a government official feels free to accept such gifts and influences over $550 million in federal contracts, it shows a total lack of fear.

25. Trump Administration's Response to USAID Corruption: According to Democrats, Trump pulling USAID’s plug was “the worst thing ever”. The Trump administration is currently pushing a bill through Congress to rescind $9.4 billion in federal spending, including most USAID programs.

26. Rarity of Such Prosecutions: This kind of DOJ prosecution of any federal official is extremely rare, due to particularly toxic inter-agency politics. Prosecuting one of them for selling $550M worth of contracts in exchange for egregious bribes "wrecks the narrative" that federal technocrats are above politics.

27. NC Councilmember Indictment: Charlotte City Council member Tiawana Brown and her two daughters were indicted on federal charges about three weeks ago. Brown is accused of using fake companies during the pandemic to hoover up $125,000 in forgivable SBA disaster loans and fake “paycheck protection” grants.

28. Brown's Defiance and History: Brown insists it is all just a “political witch hunt,” and she previously served four years in federal prison after being convicted on felony fraud charges in 1994. She recently admitted she’d drafted a press release declining to run for re-election, but claimed it was just a “test” for her staff to find out who would leak it.

29. South Korean Bird Flu Experiment: Researchers at South Korea’s Konkuk University conducted a peer-reviewed, government-funded, ethics board-approved study where they took wild bird flu from a Korean duck and, using serial passage techniques, evolved a more transmissible version that caused 100% fatality in one group of mice. This is described as "gain-of-function" experiments.

30. Bird Flu Virulence and Symptoms: The Korean study blandly reported, “All challenged (deliberately infected) mice died by 8 days” and “Transmission through direct contact occurred in 100% of cases, and all contact mice died within 12 days”. The new South Korean lab variant prefers to attack the brain, causing significant neurological symptoms like seizure, ataxia, and bradykinesia.

31. Critique of "Pandemic Preparedness": The author suggests this is the news Big Pharma has been impatiently waiting for, "to accelerate the bird flu panic and unleash covid-level government largesse". This process is framed as first creating the pandemic, then locking everyone down while preparing for it, selling cures, and cashing checks.

32. US Army 250th Birthday Parade: The US Army is putting on a giant, non-protest parade in DC to celebrate its 250th birthday, which will even include a cake. President Trump's 79th birthday also coincides with Flag Day.

33. Democratic Opposition to Parade: Democrats called the parade a “costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington”. The author contrasts this, stating that USAID spending, by comparison, is "no problem".

34. Media Coverage Juxtaposition: NPR ran a story yesterday headlined, "'No Kings' protests against Trump planned nationwide to coincide with military parade". An unnamed ‘event organizer’ told NPR that over two thousand protests are planned for this weekend.

35. "No Kings" Protest Funding: The "No Kings" protests appear less grassroots and more "astroturfed," being well funded by progressive NGOs. The author suggests these NGOs are "probably using our state and federal tax dollars".

II. ☕️ PREMATURELY ☙ Friday, June 13, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠 by Jeff Childers

1. Date and Topics: The article is dated Friday, June 13, 2025, and provides an "electrifying roundup". This includes news cycle crushed with a dramatic Israeli decapitation strike on Iran, Trump axing climate grift, and Kennedy hinting at healthcare overhaul.

2. Florida Anti-Protest Law Clarification: An alert reader reminded the author that Florida’s anti-protest law does not actually make it legal to flatten annoying protestors. Technically speaking, the 2022 law modified Florida’s self-defense statute, providing that people trapped in cars in protests who have a reasonable fear of being harmed can use reasonably necessary force to escape the danger.

3. Israeli Decapitation Strike: The Western world woke to news of yet another shocking Israeli military strike that wildly expanded the boundaries of what anybody thought was possible. The New York Times’ live-update thread was headlined, “Israel Strikes Iran's Nuclear Program, Killing Top Military Officials”.

4. Scope of Israeli Attack: Israel attacked military bases and nuclear sites all across Iran, in multiple waves. This involved 200 Israeli aircraft striking over 100 targets across a nation the size of Alaska, supposedly defended by one of the largest and most layered air defense systems in the Middle East.

5. Iran's Air Defense Failure: Inexplicably, Iran’s air defenses stayed silent during the Israeli attack. Not a single Israeli fighter jet was damaged.

6. Iran's Lack of Military Response: In response, Iran only managed to launch around 100 drones, described as "a lazy half hour’s action in Ukraine," to no apparent effect. These drones, all downed long before they neared Israel, could easily have been an automatic response, suggesting a total lack of any meaningful military response by Iran.

7. External Aid for Israeli Operation: To get to Iran, the Israelis must have been aided by the Jordanians and allowed to use Saudi Arabian airspace. This implies that a whole lot of folks were involved, but Iran obviously had no idea it was coming.

8. Jordanian Interception of Drones: Jordan probably even helped Israel by shooting down Iranian drones. A short, blurry statement from the Jordanians said “it had intercepted a number of missiles and drones that … were likely to fall in Jordanian territory, including populated areas”.

9. Iranian Leaders' Negligence: Despite social media buzzing with warning signs and US embassies closing for 48 hours, many of Iran’s generals and nuclear scientists were killed by targeted strikes while sleeping in their apartments. The author states that the Iranian military’s negligence "beggars belief".

10. Trump Administration's Non-Participation and Warnings: The Trump Administration said it was aware of the attacks, but the U.S. did not participate. Early this morning, the President posted on Truth Social, begging the Iranians to return to the negotiating table and warning that he’d tried to warn them, and even more was coming.

11. Speculation on Larger Operation: This decapitation strike could easily be the preparatory phase of a much larger operation to permanently disable Iran’s nuclear capability. Israel probably will not get another chance to operate like this without Iran’s air defenses.

12. Panic Buying in Region: Al Jazeera reported this morning that Israeli civilians and Iranians are engaged in panic buying, snatching up supplies to prepare for a longer conflict.

13. Climate.gov Shutdown: The Guardian ran a "terrifically encouraging story" yesterday headlined, “Major US climate website likely to be shut down after almost all staff fired”. NOAA’s ‘official’ Climate.gov propaganda website just got flattened.

14. Staff Layoffs at Climate.gov: “The entire content production staff at climate.gov (including me) were let go from our government contract on 31 May,” reported a former anonymous government contractor. They were told that their positions within the contract were being eliminated.

15. Climate.gov as Propaganda Machine: The Climate.gov website was run by NOAA’s communication, education, and engagement division, called "the largest team in the federal government dedicated to climate communication, education, and engagement". This is interpreted as "climate change psyops".

16. Concerns about Co-option of Climate.gov: The site’s former director (now fired), Rebecca Lindsey, suspects a “sinister possibility” that the Administration may co-opt climate.gov to publish its own anti-science content. Lindsey claimed it as “our” brand, “our” audience, and “our” millions of people that they reach on social media every month.

17. Kennedy's Healthcare Revolution Plan: HHS Secretary Kennedy announced the latest plan on Fox yesterday, stating that the Big Beautiful Bill aims to “revolutionize healthcare” in the U.S.. This plan includes introducing a $75 per month healthcare program with access to a 24/7 concierge doctor, without needing any insurance claims.

18. Healthcare Incentives: Kennedy explained that the new law would expand Health Savings Accounts, to let people fully pay for pro-health things like gym memberships with pre-tax dollars. He added that the new program would also encourage employers to establish on-site medical centers where workers can receive free healthcare treatment.

19. Concierge Care Endorsement: The author's family transitioned from traditional insurance to concierge coverage after the pandemic, finding it to be the "best routine healthcare available". For a low monthly fee, they can text with their doctors, avoiding most appointments, and often get immediate answers.

20. Lack of Corporate Media Coverage (Healthcare): The author predictably could not find a single corporate media story mentioning the healthcare proposal. This is despite predicting it would be wildly popular when people find out about it.

21. Trump's National Guard Control Ruling: The New York Times crowed about the latest Trump judicial reversal in its story headlined, “Trump’s Use of National Guard in Limbo After Court Rulings”. Judge Charles Breyer ordered the administration to return control of the National Guard to the California governor.

22. Judge Breyer's Ruling Details: Judge Breyer found that “The President’s actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment”. He ordered, “He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith”.

23. Newsom's Premature Celebration: Governor Hairdo “spurted happy talk all over the microphone,” gushing, “Clearly there’s no invasion. There’s no rebellion. It’s absurd”. He called it a "big day for the Constitution”.

24. Ninth Circuit's Stay: Before the sun set on the Golden State, the Ninth Circuit had already stayed Judge Breyer’s order. The Appellate order was just a simple paragraph temporarily staying Judge Breyer’s order.

25. Trump Lawyers' Argument: Trump’s lawyers stiffly argued in their brief that, “Courts did not interfere when President Eisenhower deployed the military to protect school desegregation”. They also noted, “Courts did not interfere when President Nixon deployed the military to deliver the mail in the midst of a postal strike”.

26. BlueSky's Implosion due to Purity Spiral: Fortune Magazine delivered an "absolute gem of a headline" about BlueSky, reporting it "became somewhat of a safe haven for liberal users who wanted to drown out the noise of President Trump’s reelection". Between November, 2024, and this May, Bluesky ballooned from about 10 million to 30 million users.

27. Mark Cuban's Disappointment with BlueSky: Tech billionaire Mark Cuban, one of the most prominent BlueSky refugees, described the exact purity spiral dynamic. He wrote, “Engagement went from great convos on many topics, to agree with me or you are a nazi fascist”.

28. BlueSky User Behavior: Cuban added that he thinks Bluesky users have “grown ruder and more hateful”. He complained, “Even if you agree with 95% of what a person is saying on a topic, if there is one point that you might call out as being more of a gray area, they will call you a fascist etc.”.

29. Decline in BlueSky Engagement: A grim WaPo editorial cited a recent Pew Research Center analysis that found many news influencers have Bluesky accounts but two-thirds post irregularly. Engagement on Bluesky appears to have peaked in mid-November and is now down about 50 percent, with no sign of leveling out.

30. Comparison to Old Twitter's Moderation: The author explains that progressives had "the sympathy of Twitter’s professional-class employees" who proved increasingly susceptible to liberals’ demands for tighter moderation policies. Old Twitter’s enforced groupthink "created the illusion that progressive ideas were more popular than they actually were".

31. BlueSky's Internal Conflict Intensifies: Lacking local conservatives to target, BlueSky is "tearing itself apart, more viciously than an illegal dog-fighting ring". The negative engagement on things progressives don’t want to hear “can be intense,” with left-wing trolls urging people who disagree with them to commit suicide.

32. Call for Conservatives on BlueSky: An editorial author, Megan McArdle, mused that “Without the leavening influence of their opponents,” BlueSky discourse appears “even more censorious and doctrinaire than what progressives were saying on old Twitter”. The author suggests that progressives are always in attack mode and will happily battle each other if they can’t find a conservative to pick on.

33. BlueSky as "Toxic Intellectual Landfill": The author suggests thinking of far-left BlueSky as a "toxic intellectual landfill". He proposes slapping a concrete containment dome over it "before it spreads back to X".
